A 30-year-old St. Johns County man accused of attacking a 9-year-old girl in a Jacksonville Best Buy bathroom has been found incompetent to stand trial by intellectual disability experts, Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud said at a court hearing Wednesday.

The judge will have to determine whether James Patrick Tadros should be turned over to the Agency for Persons with Disabilities and committed to Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee to see if he can proceed in his court case.

Soud said neither expert differed in their recommendation and both said Tadros should be committed to the state hospital based on a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder.

Guardianship court documents said Tadros was diagnosed with the disorder when he was 10.

When he was 18 his mother sought guardianship because his “mental state does not allow him much independence,” he had “no knowledge of financial affairs” and could not make “meaningful health decisions” regarding medical care, the documents show.

“Prognosis is that he will remain in this condition for the remainder of his lifetime and will also require the care of his mother for the remainder of his lifetime,” the documents read.

If Soud does order Tadros into the custody of the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, the state has two years for him to gain competency. If the two years lapses, the state must prove the defendant will become competent within the foreseeable future or the charges are dismissed, according to state statutes.

But even if the charges are dismissed, the court can keep Tadros involuntarily committed if “there is a substantial likelihood that the defendant will injure another person,” according to statutes.
